IP Products (IP License)

What is IP

In general, IP is the abbreviation for intellectual property including patents, design and copyrights. Renesas’ IPs available for licensing are semiconductor design data. They can be embedded in user systems and products to achieve equivalent functionality and capabilities to Renesas products. When you use Renesas’ IPs, you don’t need to start from scratch, and you gain many advantages such as being able to concentrate resources on your original and key design and accelerate development.

Market Trends

There are many trends in the market and user needs are diverse.

• “Fabless” and foundry companies are rising
• In-house semiconductor developments are evident
• FPGA cost has become reasonable and FPGAs are widely used
• User systems are more complex and development, verification, and evaluation costs are higher
• Full in-house production is becoming difficult because of its high R&D cost

High Reliability and Quality Through Renesas’ Vertical Integration

Renesas has many products for a wide range of applications and has wide experience and knowledge about semiconductor production. Renesas can provide design information and provide technical support to match various processes including implementation and testing.

Subsystems With Proven Interconnection

Renesas provides one-stop IP solutions based on proven IPs which Renesas has developed in house for a wide range of applications. You won’t need to connect and verify IP subsystems internally. You can use Renesas’ general IPs and concentrate resources on your original and key IPs.

Accelerating Development of Original Devices Using IP ー Improving “IP Utility” ー

Using “IP Utility” (provided together with IP by Renesas Electronics) can significantly reducethe human hours and time required (from specifications study to device development), enabling customers to develop products much more efficiently.
